 Description of the problemI purchased my 2011 rav4 on 10/19/10, with 3 miles on the odometer. As of 1/31/11 the odometer now reads 2605 miles. After driving the vehicle for 1 week i noticed that the gas consumption was very high. I drove the vehicle to harrisburg, pa which is only 120 miles from my home in philadelphia, pa and burned a full tank of gas upon my return home. The vehicle is suppose to get 28 mpg on the highway which equals to 420 miles on a 15 gallon tank. Also, i have a 24 mile roundtrip commute each day and by the end of the week my tank is almost empty. I took the car into the dealership to service the complaint but was told, as i suspected, that nothing was wrong. I am filling the tank up on average every 4 days. I also notice that as i am driving, the fuel gauge needle is moving downward. No one seems to take my complaint seriously and i am always fed the story of how well made and sophisticated that the engine and components are. I have been purchasing toyota certified used vehicles for the past 20 years and have never had any complaints. This is my first brand new vehicle and i am regretting purchasing it. I want this matter thoroughly investigated but i am always told the same thing. I am not a mathematician but i can count and my 2011 rav4 gas mileage is horrendous.
